Waxman Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Staff Writer Sep 9, 2015 2:16 PM CUT A groom has attempted to set the bar high for most theatrical wedding vows. As Jared Basham was about to tie the knot with his new wife Kyndra, he donned shades and launched into a lip-sync medley that included: “You’re the One That I Want” from _Grease_, Boyz II Men’s “I Swear,” Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” \*NSYNC’s “This I Promise You” and Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” So anyone getting married in the future should not feel too much pressure — he didn’t write these vows, after all. He’s just singing someone else’s words. But it seemed like a good way to liven up the ceremony.
